The defendant requested the dismissal of the plaintiff's action under Rule 2.1.01(6) of the Rules of Civil Procedure, alleging it was frivolous and vexatious.

The court, after giving the self-represented plaintiff an opportunity to make submissions (which were not provided), reviewed the statement of claim.

The court found the claim, which sought $50 million based on a brief, unsubstantiated account of missed flights and police questioning, lacked a legal basis and material facts.

Consequently, the court dismissed the action as frivolous and vexatious, without costs.

The registrar's office referred a motion to the court under Rule 2.1.01(7) of the Rules of Civil Procedure, following a request from the defendant's lawyers to dismiss the plaintiff's action.

The court had previously notified the self-represented plaintiff, Said Abdulkadir, to provide submissions explaining why the action should not be dismissed, but no submissions were received.

The court reviewed the statement of claim and concluded that it was frivolous and vexatious, lacking a legal basis or material facts to support a claim.

Consequently, the action was dismissed without costs.

The registrar's office referred two statements of claim to the court under Rule 2.1.01(7) of the Rules of Civil Procedure, following a request from the defendant, as the claims appeared frivolous and vexatious.

The court ordered that notice be given to the plaintiff under Rule 2.1.01(3)(1) regarding the potential dismissal of the actions.

Pending the outcome of a written hearing, the plaintiff's actions were stayed pursuant to s.106 of the Courts of Justice Act, and no further filings were to be accepted except the plaintiff's written submissions.
